He had a job in finane, but quit after only two months. He played poker for two years, but left that too. For the last two years, he’s split his time between selling real estate and making people laugh. He’s performed and hosted at the Comic Strip and produced his own comedy shows at Will McBride’s in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he currently resides.
